Having Reached Ahmednagar (Shirdi) And Morning Aarti (Kakad Aarti) Eager

Having Reached Ahmednagar (Shirdi) And Morning Aarti (Kakad Aarti) Eager

Having reached Ahmednagar (Shirdi) the conversations while taking a taxi from Trimbakeshwar were few and far as lines of communication with the one at the wheels better be kept under wrap as economy drags. Economy is in a still state difficult here to divulge when it won't be subjected to sessions of berate. Economy that could not raise jobs and the threadbare conversation very much taking place in Sekos.  The ride lasting little over two-and-a-half hour was all about the cemented road that took one to Shirdi a town in Mahashtra State where luncheon packs have not been prepared for sleuths of ED (Enforcement Directorate). ED has been on an overdrive hurting one here and multiple there for the very fact that those who were slapped with notices were the ones who spoke truth and truth alone and this alarming picture well read in Spain's Province Leon. 

Taking A Room In A Lodge Next To Tajim Khan Baba Dargah

Taken shelter in a lodge next to Tajim Khan Baba Dargah the owner an Elderly Gentleman With Dreams promised that he would arrange tea between 12 and 1 AM and hot bucket of water and better avail them now as no one knows what is in store for this town and who would take the crown. Shirdi The Centrepiece Of Attraction for the very fact that it hosts visits by equal number of Hindus And Muslims and the palpable rush some having made mental note of in far distant Scotland's Dunoon and this going to last for eon. With room allotted with a rider that I would have to move to another one the next day as a group from Shobhabazar In Kolkata ( Kolkata Is Capital Of West Bengal State In East India) had a prior booking and their journey one expected to be far distant from centres that give fillip to acts of gunnery. As I took the room and wondered whether it would be true for tea to come at 1 AM sharp and with enough clue and this expectation went side by side and mirrored India's Growth Chart with enough dose of reverberation. 

Morning Aarti Queries Stonewalled 

As I ventured out to explore the chances of attending the Morning Aarti (Kakad Aarti and that necessarily is the ritual taking place at dawn to wake up the deity) the queries at Gate Number 6 and other gates were stonewalled as those at the counters were busy counting Indian Currency Notes and having had in the morning session Dates. You travel to any part of India you would invariably come across guys who are indifferent and strike at you with enough force as joblessness the country with no breaks boasts. Joblessness is a corridor from which the country has not over the years been able to delink and these jobless youths take to drink. After gulping the entire bottle they misbehave with women and babies and their assault is brutal. 

Morning Aarti In Shirdi Restored Back To 5.15 AM

What All I Could Gather was Morning Aarti had been restored back to 5.15 AM and paid pass entry was the new GM. Those who had the patience and perseverance were better clubbed in general category and were foretold that arrival in waiting hall and that is from Gate Number 7 be before 2 AM to gain access to a hall where Morning Aarti begins at 5.15. For others with paid pass they better come just before 5 as they are no less than VIPs And Giants and that too thrice. For other set of VIPs who stood before the deity and mind you this is the third set of class they were ushered in just before Morning Aarti was to begin and these guys were fat and thin. For general category the number of people who could gain entry to the Morning Aarti hall the number need not exceed more than 30 as much more than 90 per cent space was to be availed by paid pass entrants and general category entrants could ill afford tantrums. 

Trust Should Do A Rethink On Those Coming In General Category

We wish Sai Baba Sansthan Trust tries to bring in corrective measures at this stage and let the entire number of devotees going through general category circular they better be 50 per cent and not just 5 per cent so that more and more commoners get the chance to be in Morning Aarti Hall and here they get to meet their lost brothers going by the name Paul. For the first day and that was Monday I after marking my attendance at Dwarkamai Temple headed to Gate Number 7 and was in waiting hall little after 2 AM with the hope that I would be able to secure place in Morning Aarti Hall something down the decades I would be able to recall.

The Stay In Trimbakeshwar With No Fear And Leaving For Ahmednagar In Renewed Gear

The Stay In Trimbakeshwar With No Fear And Leaving For Ahmednagar In Renewed Gear. As I begin to essay thoughts from Secundarabad City In Telangana State In South India this is a much happening place in Asia. The place much to brood over and gyrating with ample dose of fervour. Had it not been for potholed roads from Nashik to Trimbakeshwar the discomfort index would have been fairly less and a ride less time consuming and a one not akin to scale Everest. Having reached Lord Shiva's Abode (Trimbakeshwar) I could engineer a conversation or two with a guy from Geetai Lodge in Post Lane aggreing in principle to pay in advance for a stay no less reverential. Saturday early morning hours I kept for myself with the black tea that was raised and this shadowed by a middle aged man from Maharashtra home department in plain clothes releasing volley of abuse and this mirrored the intention of not letting me get on a cruise. Unfazed by his verbal notoriety I soon set on a temple visit and by 6 AM I was in the temple queue and having put in the prayers in the sanctum sanctorum (Lord Trimbakeshwar Temple) roughly around 8 the proceedings looked to be fine and here none seem to be afraid. Priests in attendance were reciting hymns in praise of Lord and there seem to be perfect beat to the same and that was the much-cherished game. Out of temple a little before 9 I settled for meals from Om Gurudev Dinning Hall and the food intake made one sturdy and by no means illustrating the seasonal tendency to get in a brawl. The second day as well I settled for black tea from a different locale going by the name Bholehar Bhojanalaya with Mr Jeevan preparing the right mix and this making it look average the grouping BRICS. By 5.30 AM when I joined the queue it was a long winding one as it was Sunday The Holiday and more and more having fun. Once inside sanctum sanctorum by Lord's blessings I was able to gain space where I could sit for a while and keeping conversation with the Lord with enough synergy and pace. Lord Trimbakeshwar goads enough set of people to visit his resting place and placatory tones are enough to make one considerate and not get in worldly race. Having come out of temple the morning cuppa was from Krushna Inn and the food served could make one initiate fresh innings. By the time afternoon set in I was on my way to Ahmednagar (Shirdi) and the ride which started after 12.40 consumed no less than two and a half hours to reach aforementioned place. Keeping a date with the Lord be it Trimbakeshwar or Ahmednagar was the running theme and here one expected less moments when one would cringe. The stay in Ahmednagar brought forward the goal of attending to four sessions of prayers on Tuesday which conveys the import of Pray Day. YEDU KONDALWADA VENKATRAMNA GOVINDA GOVINDA

Reaching Nashik And Trying To Figure Out Potholed Roads Basics

As I Reached Manmad The Next Port Of Call Was Nashik Still Trying To Figure Out How To Get To The Task Of Potholed Roads And Bring In The Necessary Fix. As I reached Manmad the next port of call was Nashik The Great where traffic rules go for a toss as those at the wheels are innumerable boss. Tapovan Express train in Manmad arrived well before designated time and having boarded C 2 Coach having as number of passengers as number of seats there were young women and men immaculately dressed thereby retaining all weather shine. The train left little after 5 PM reaching Nashik well before 6.30 and the station packed to capacity earning the ire of those who missed their caravan due to rotational temerity. Platforms after Platforms looked choc a bloc and one should thank the reigning deity of Ahmednagar that no untoward incident has taken to this date. The Ahmednagar Lord guides the world and believes in a world that is simple making special mention of those who have dimple. As I stepped out of Nashik station and took an auto with Mr Imtiaz Khan at the helm the traffic travesty was more to be seen with overspeeding vehicles and some among those jumping red lights and here discipline prospects looking blight. It was a ride of reservations as the route the auto took was longish one with roads potholed and those driving with full speed getting bold. Potholed roads one often come across given the vehicle load these intertwined roads take be it next to thick bushes or lake. It took roughly two hours to touch epicentre of Trimbakeshwar (Lord Shiva's Abode) and one was ushered in a lodge where challenges one may or may not dodge. The two hour auto ride and prior to that two set of train with a purpose tried made one wonder whether accessing Trimbakeshwar the same day may make some dilute the tendency to get into this set of fray. But there were still a large number who would stick to this schedule as Lord Trimbakeshwar looks cool. The stay for two days with enough to chase the visit to Lord Trimbakeshwar Temple brought in the opening act of expressing gratitude for making a world calm and not rude. Rude reservoir one doesn't come across if one signals the intent to move on and not pause. YEDU KONDALWADA VENKATRAMNA GOVINDA GOVINDA

Leaving Bhopal For Manmad And Some Looking For Reward

Leaving Bhopal For Manmad As I left Fortune Inn Hotel in Hamidia Road Bhopal the stay for two days coincided with thoughts on train I was supposed to take to Manmad in Maharashtra State where reservoir of support for agriculture to flourish is nagging trait. The best thing about Fortune Inn was it had round the clock kitchen functioning with none whatsoever tinkering. The staff was cooperative destined to reach new frontiers well and truly possible if they captured their winter fears. Winter is harsh in this part of country no different from Delhi aiming to hit in post independent India century. Bhopal is a city as equal as any other city in Hindi Heartland and looking rock solid to Stay As Giant. A city with rich past interspersed with efforts to be as voluble as possible not to be lost in Indian commotion of trying to figure out its configuration. As I boarded auto with Mr Feroze Khan at the helm the ride itself was illustrative of any commute by this set of transport availing every opportunity to access in different regions of India sea port. Reaching Bhopal Station roughly around 4.40 AM there was no possibility one would come across RAILWAY GM. Taking a seat on Platform one with Mr Prachetan from East Godavari in Andhra Pradesh State sharing the bench the will and whisper of Karnataka Express train one hadn't come through.The wait was endless preoccupied with idea whether train would come on designated time hoping those at the wheels don"t take to whine. All through 5 AM and beginning minutes of 6 there was no word yet on this train and who all had during the course of journey from Hazrat Nizamuddin in Delhi pulled the chain. Mr Prachetan was enrolled in a course in NIT Bhopal and displaying no sentiments of withdrawal. Mr Prachetan was super excited that he would be boarding AP Express going all the way to Visakhapatnam where in the early morning hours people beat drum. During the time he waited for the train to arrive he was hooked to smartphone and the vibes he was getting seem to suggest in due course of time he would make calls to Rome. A little after 7 AM announcement was made for Karnataka Express and it came around 7.30 with porter Mr Ameen carrying the luggage to H 1 coach seat number 13 the one coach where people don't play pranks even if they belong to club of teen. Narmadapuram came at 9,Powarkhera at 9.10,Itarsi after 9.30, Harda 10.30, Mathela 11.50, Khandwa 12 PM, Bhusaval after 1.40 and Manmad after 4.40.I deboarded at Manmad waiting for a connecting train to Nashik. This train ride from Bhopal which is also dubbed As City Of Nawabs dethroned the logic that train running behind schedule can make up though the said train in full flow in sections after sections in India much subjected to speed restrictions making it lie low. This train traversed through areas rich in banana plantation and fertile areas much destined to grow irrespective of drip irrigation lying high or low. YEDU KONDALWADA VENKATRAMNA GOVINDA GOVINDA

Having Left Home On Wednesday To Take A Train For Which Millions Across World Pray

Having Left Home On Wednesday To Take A Train For Which Millions Across World Pray Having left home on Wednesday to gain access to a train where eatables are brought on a tray,the departure was at 3.07 PM in a nation where after every five years it plays host to a new GM. There were in all 11 red lights on way to HAZRAT NIZAMUDDIN STATION a station where I used to park myself after JNU Class and Session (JNU is a prime university in India). The Ride to the aforementioned station was in an auto with a disciplined Mr Rajesh Gupta at the helm perhaps illustrating he is waiting for calls from the likes of Biden and Trump. Calls hadn't come through in the fortnight gone by despite repeated reminders and try. Spate Of Electric And Not Eccentric Vehicles Spate of electric and not eccentric vehicles could be spotted on the way as climate change was much in divisive action letting surroundings turn grey. When Hazrat Nizamudin was accesed it was 3.30 and Lord Sun having full blast with enough battery. It is no less than a bliss when Lord Sun peaks with enough retaining shine on cheeks. Porter Mr Rohtas agreed to ferry the baggage to designated spot and that was primarily Platform 5 where Chennai Rajdhani was yet to depart and vacate space for CSMT Rajdhani (Mumbai) the one I was supposed to take where train attendants were bringing water bottles in crate. With seat number 23 in coach A 3 the ride one expected to be free of commotion with last heard on coronation. In the station some PCO stalls had converted to stores and with multipurpose stalls host to visits by elements that were least aligned to acts of uproar. CSMT Rajdhani Leaving Hazrat NIZAMUDDIN Station As CSMT Rajdhani left at 4.55 with Okhla, Faridabad, Palwal stations covered with stoppage at Agra revered (Agra THE CITY hosts Taj Mahal Wonder). Gwalior coming at 8.03 and Jhansi coming at 9.23 with those in attendance in these stations young women fully aware of attributes that would make them retain the sheen even if they did not belong to club of twins. After 12.30 AM Bhopal the territory was touched and here deboarding happened with most in the surroundings looking blessed. Mr Javed the automan agreed in principle that he would take me to a lodge where some would be able to recall preamble and amenities in the room looking very much amenable. The lodge and its lasting capacity suggested it to be pricey and there was no way out as venturing out at this odd hour would be dicey. From this lodge to those with lissome torch all would be taken into stride as India is a nation with price maelstrom giving no leeway and making the budget bothersome tight. Middle Section Of India Accessed With middle section of India accessed and the nation ever ready to host writers from Trinidad And Tobago the time is ripe to shed ego. This train ride would be remembered for those aiming to be centenarians having enough fan following and despite series of irritants not fuming. This train ride would as well be remembered for squeaky clean stations and those working on laptops to raise another set of immaculate innovation. YEDU KONDALWADA VENKATRAMNA GOVINDA GOVINDA

Success On Triyambak Stories Few And Far And Those Made To Take Detour

Success On Triyambak Stories Few And Far And Those Made To Take Detour

As I have been frantically searching for stories done on Triyambak in Maharashtra State in West India the success has been few and far as Triyambak positioning is somewhat different with some recalling the contribution of French Journo Nadar. Known to give impetus to aerial photography Nadar stayed to shine for close to 100 years with no fears. Nadar's tricks played wonder as that was the time when colonial powers in undivided India were less apt in their approach and yet maintained their calendar. With a blemished record and sessions of blemish all over the place colonial rulers were pushed away and this act inviting enough praise. From that French Journo of that time to Journos like Mr Ravish Kumar, Mr Punya Prasun Vajpayee, Mr Karan Thapar, Mr Prannoy Roy, Mr Abhisar Sharma of this time the acts of fulfilment are widely seen as they have done stories that are clean. Journos have a hard time in India as they can well raise stories which are reflections on True Asia. True Asia could well entail Thailand to Vietnam to Cambodia where emperors have withstood challenges and hope the masses stay secured as in fief like India they are made to detour. Detour to get the necessary services which come at their own cost and masses have to bow before each territory boss. Bosses with enough temerity to strike rich despite India home to varied territories and each section interspersed with essential services glitch. 

Getting In Pool Can Never Be A Wise Move; In North Water Has Almost Lost Rock Bottom Trace

With no success in getting to know the lodges I chased and stayed in Nashik and Beyond (Nashik Is In Maharashtra State) and this very region hosting lights neon. Lodges way back in 2011 would have looked wonderful despite repeated reminders one shouldn't get in the pool. Lodges during that time were less demanding and less demeaning and those at the counter to flung the room keys were all rounder. This very month and this very season the pool puzzle is difficult to resolve or erase as water has some trace. From kids to those in middle age group getting into the pool is no cruise as water levels can be alarming and this looking to be toxic tourney. Those with meddlesome nature could still try their hands in pool as they largely feel the weather to be cool. From This Middle Age Group To That Middle Sections Of India some trying to access and here is the riddle that is difficult to break and address. Middle Sections the water level has not dipped to disquieting quantum unlike North where water has invariably disappeared from rock bottom. Water saved Today could well signal the import of acceptance in small measure as water across country is a treasure. Water Saved Is Water Earned and more one is mindful of preoccupation with this reserve more can have the adaptability to have Vegetarian Puff. Veg Puff I had in plenty when I was in Udhagamandalam In Tamil Nadu State In South India much cherished for having no smartphone phobia. 

Smartphone Phobia Can Drive People Nuts; Having Lopchu Tea, Mother Dairy Cow Milk

Smartphone phobia can drive people nuts as from cycling to driving to gambling they are all hooked to the same device with inputs received on where to scale the Everest and when to open the war chest. Smartphone need not be all about smart looks; it can well initiate movement of troops. Smartphone can upset the applecart and turn world upside down if some are answering queries on when one would lose the crown. Hackneyed images flow in multiple if some are glued to this device for hours that are double. Let smartphone take a breather and let life be simple with all retaining the flowery prosperity feather. From this flowery to Orange Flowery Lopchu Tea some like to have coming from distant Darjeeling in West Bengal State and here Mother Dairy Cow Milk is A Grade. Would some get Mother Dairy Cow Milk in Middle Sections Of India no one knows and here in the morning hours the lodge gates shouldn't close. 

As I Have Been Listening To Achyutam Keshavam Krishna Damodaram And Sai Tere Hazaro Haath (Spiritual Mantra) I would like to extend good wishes to Mr Joe Biden, Mr Barack Obama, Ms Kamala Harris, Mr Azim Premji, Mr N. R. Narayana Murthy, Mr Nandan Nilekani, Mr T.V. Mohandas Pai, Ms Nancy Pelosi and their family members. Best Wishes To Pope Francis As Well. Interfaith Conference In Vatican City We Hail. Respect All Religion Is The Prime Message From This Meet.

Seeking Train Ticket And Those Fiddling With Net Connection On A Strong Wicket

Seeking Train Ticket And Those Fiddling With Net Connection On A Strong Wicket

Having returned from Lord Hanuman Temple In Connaught Place In New Delhi on a Tuesday it was time to book a train ticket to Nashik in Maharashtra State In West India where there is palpable ease as people have less smartphone phobia. As I settled down much before 9.30 AM to align with expectations from Indian Railways I was eager as well as hopeful that ticket would come through despite Biden Administration's record having been rough and true. No sooner the clock struck 10, the attempt to access Indian Railway Website proved to be increasingly difficult as this has never happened in the past and the forces which were trying to derail my efforts were none other than those in Khakhi (Cops) much amused by rally in bourses. They could not well understand that this rally is hyperbole and this could well run out of steam as all indicators suggest the economy is on a downward spiral and this discourse carried in carrel. 

Telling Wi Fi Operator To Delete Password Of New Data Card As Men In Khakhi Take Pleasure By Fiddling With Net Connection Alike To An Act Of  Having Yoghurt

I had repeatedly told the wi fi operator to erase the password when I was collecting fresh and new data card as men in khakhi would make my life miserable and fiddle with my net connection as they presume this act to be no short of invention. By 10.33 the railway booking site did not open and when it finally opened its doors to the outside world it showed the waiting list to be 12 as some had booked ticket draped in towel. That was Tuesday and all effort gone wasted. Coming to Wednesday I took seat much before 9 AM and by the time I got access to the railway site the message that emanated from railway quarters was booking had not started for this select class and this continued well beyond 10.30 when the reality is booking starts at 10 AM sharp and railway quarters short of creativity. When I was able to book ticket after my efforts getting stonewalled on a continued scale the ticket that I secured showed waiting list status of 13 and there was no point visiting the railway canteen. The next day Thursday was the day when I expected to gain alerts on my train status once railway chart is prepared at 12.55 PM and here I could not locate the Railway GM. When the chart came in public domain I was put on waitlist and again my efforts were ransacked alike some offices getting the same even if they don't play prank. 

Visiting Railway Reservation Centre To Try My Luck

Coming To Friday I visited railway reservation centre in Sarojini Nagar well before 7.45 AM. I got hold of Tatkal Form (Priority Ticket Form) and duly filled the same much hopeful that this time I would gain ticket as railway reservation centre doesn't furnish excuses that are lame. Some women approached me to fill their form and as I obliged them I did not realise this was a ploy where those marking serial numbers of those seeking AC ticket was being done at the same time when I was filling the women form and again the task of gaining ticket looked to be giant. I was assigned number 16 and with two counters functioning and it effectively meant that my number was 8. By 10.03 AM when my turn came it showed waiting list to be One and here I was in no dire need of any intervention as wait list of One done from railway reservation counter the ticket gets confirmed despite the travails of EVMs (Electronic Voting Machines) and those carrying the same having enough dose of rum. Saturday was the day when from 9 AM onwards I was waiting and waiting and this looked to be endless and at 12.55 the railway site showed the chart had not been prepared. At 1.20 the railway site showed the chart is in progress leaving some with stress. At 1.27 when the final chart came I was left again with waiting list of One and still the ticket not getting confirmed despite doing from window booking and this game of notoriety being waged by those who were plump. I made a dash to reservation centre to get the refund minus cancellation charges. Four Days were wasted in seeking a train ticket and the forces at play were riding no horses. This unforeseen development has been trending for four days and forces and their act of denouement have enough traces. 

As I take a train to Bhopal (Bhopal Is In Madhya Pradesh State In Middle India )and this enlisting breather for one day the journey to Manmad and later to Nashik (Manmad And Nashik Are In Maharashtra State In West India) should be less pretentious and this need not be classic. Ordinary men have ordinary hopes and train connectivity should be minus pain and jokes.
